The threads in the parts can sometimes eliminate the final assembly process, and in order to manufacture precise threads, we need to follow many thread design rules. This is a basic thread type, but it is also important. The main difference lies in the external threads of screws and bolts, as well as the external threads of hardware. The internal thread is located inside the main component and locks the screw and bolt threads. Bolt Spacing Once we consider the threads on bolts and screws, there is no one size applicable to all types. In addition to metric threads, the Unified Thread Serie ..read more
